From now on, you can name me,  Alex Baja Custom Billiard pool and fishing Rods (j/k)  ^-^  ^-^

I have one young guy of 78yo coming to my office and asking me if I can do something for his custom Pool cue that  lost all the "real leather" cover of the butt section, the rest of the butt section seems to be made with some kinda marbeling paper / sticker some accents and epoxy resin so, I think I can do something there.


He let the design or colors open to my imagination  :)  :D 

so far, I just sanded a bit the uncovered section to take all the rests and bits of the glue and leather

 There is a lot of nice designs in the handle of pool sticks that would look good on fishing rods .

Did you weigh it before so you could try to match the weight?
